It's getting easier to get in and out of Worcester. On Monday additional commuter trains were added to the Worcester/Boston schedule. Two more round trips were added to the schedule giving even more choices for commuters. This brings the total to 13 trains a day...Check out http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/lines/?route=WORCSTER for the full schedule.
Did you know that Worcester is the busiest stop on the commuter rail outside of Boston? More people take trains in and out of Worcester each day than any other stop on the MBTA Commuter Rail system.
Need to go further than Boston? Need to get to a warmer climate? Worcester Regional Airport has added commercial flights to Florida three days a week. Direct flights are available to Orlando and the Fort Myers area. Check out http://www.massport.com/worce/ for more details.
Go Phillies!!

A beautiful fall day
We had wonderful weather for our first open house of the fall yesterday. Over 1,000 visitors attended the program and learned about all things WPI. If you did not have the chance to attend our next open house program is coming up on November 11th and I hope to see you there!!
Congrats to the men's and women's crew teams which both won gold medals this past weekend at the Quinsigamond Head Relays. They'll be off to compete in the Head of the Charles this coming weekend. Thinking of rowing at WPI? Check out http://wpi.prestosports.com/landing/index for more details.

After a September that just flew by October brings our first open house of the fall. On Monday the 13th we'll welcome over 1,000 prospective students and family members to campus for the day to learn more about what a WPI education offers. We are busy preparing for the exciting day and look forward to a great event!! (So far the weather looks good!!)
We are already receiving applications for admission on a daily basis. We are just starting to process applications and load information into our database. I know we've had a few calls regarding application status and support materials. By the end of next week we should be in good shape to answer all these questions. We will also be sending out our first batch on acknowledgement letters and e-mails next week. These contain the login and PINs applicants will need to track their application status on-line. Please keep an eye on the e-mail account that you provided on your application for this important information.
Enjoy the holiday weekend...and go Sox!!

Recent Radio Interview
I recently had the chance to be interviewed by Beth Pickett for the Countdown to College Radio Show. This interview gave me a chance to discuss many aspects of a WPI education and provides a good overview for someone considering WPI.
This was broadcast live on wsradio.com on September 19th and was rebroadcast on stations across the country, including locally on WNSH AM 1570 in Beverly, MA this past weekend. I was hoping to get this posted earlier but I just returned to Worcester on Saturday from a conference in Seattle...
But if you are curious to check out the interview you can hear the radio interview through wsradio.com archives.
Go Sox!!

Performance at Fenway Park
Music isn't always the first thing one thinks of when they think of WPI, but approximately 1/3 of our students participate in music or theater groups here at WPI!!
Last night one of our men's vocal groups performed the national anthem at Fenway park...what a wonderful honor for Simple Harmonic Motion.
Check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8v1vFnjYEM&feature=related
What's more the Sox beat the Yankees!!
Enjoy.
